On the nilpotent injectors of the general linear groups

A nilpotent injector in an arbitrary finite group G is defined to be a maximal nilpotent subgroup of G, containing a subgroup H of G of maximal order satisfying class(H) $\leq$ 2. Among other results the nilpotent injectors of GL(n,q) are determined and shown to consist of a unique conjugacy class of subgroups of GL(n,q). It will also be proved that if n $\not=$ 2, then the nilpotent injectors of GL(n,q) are the nilpotent subgroups of maximal order.U of I OnlyETDs are only available to UIUC Users without author permissio
